:-) Depends on dialect. Some dialects require prepositions in contexts
where the answer would require a preposition (if the answer is a full
sentence). To the question "Where do you want to go?", the answer would
be "I want to go to X", the preposition cannot be dropped in the
answer. Same with things like "Where do you live at?"
I personally don't use those constructions, I'd say "Where do you want
to go?" or "That's where I want to go", but there is a logic to the use
of prepositions.
